Here, in this blog, we will make out a comparable discussion on this two devices. Let's get into it. 

Although these two are different series of laptops, they have a lot in common in terms of specifications. Again, the price range of these two is also very close.

The display of HP ProBook 450 G8 you will get an anti-glare surface, which is not in HP Pavilion 13. Therefore, whenever you use HP Pavilion 13 in the outside light, you will often get glare and that may distract you. So, considering its comparatively large display and the advantages of this anti-glare option, the HP ProBook 450 G8 is  outperforming the HP Pavilion 13. 

On processor quality, these two are very much similar in nature and very good ones too. HP ProBook 450 G8 comes with Intel Core i5 11th generation processor with 4.20 GHz Max Turbo Frequency. Here you will get 4 cores and 8 threads.

With 8GB RAM, 3200 MHz RAM bus, and 512GB SSD both these two laptops ensure a smooth multitasking experience for you. Adding to it, HP ProBook 450 G8 brings 2 RAM slots, so you can add extra RAM here.

In the case of graphics cards, both HP ProBook 450 G8 and HP Pavilion 13 are equipped with integrated Intel Iris Xe Graphics. Intel claims that this Xe Graphics is susceptible to providing 50% better gaming performance. However, considering integrated graphics capability this claim is true. You can easily play mid type games with limited setup easily.  But for high setting graphics oriented tasks or heavy games these are not the right choices for you. 

Now comes the performance of battery life. In HP Pavilion 13 you are getting 3 Cell batteries of 43 Wh Li-ion polymer. Its backup is very good and you will get 7-8 hours backup. In the case of HP ProBook also, you will get a similar type of battery.

You will get 3 x USB Type-A port, 1 x USB Type-C port, one HDMI port, LAN port, audio jack, and a microSD card reader. In spite of its thick and thin nature, HP Pavilion 13 has every required port and slot like 3.5 mm jack, microSD card reader, 2 USB Type-A ports, 1 USB type C port, 1 HDMI port, and a charging port. So well done for  HP Pavilion 13.

Above all, if you are in search of a business laptop that offers great functionality, then you can go with HP ProBook 450 G8. And if you are in need of a thin and light portable machine with pretty same functionality as the ProBook 450 G8, then Pavilion 13 would be a nice choice. Remember, both these laptops are not for heavy gaming and graphics-oriented tasks.
